Before leaving on our big trip last year I challenged myself to achieve 25 awesome things before my 25th birthday.

Earlier in March I celebrated my 25th birthday.

So after the celebrations I reviewed my 25 Before 25 list and discovered that I achieved 12 of them. Considering 2 of them were prevented by weather and 5 others didn’t happen due to changes in our plans (we didn’t make to Mexico, Italy or outside of Paris), I’m pretty happy with my efforts.

Here are the goals that I achieved in 2011-2012.

Achieved:

It truly was the best year of my life.

A list definitely helps you stay on track and get excited about the future and we’re already thinking about the next list we can put together to motivate us towards future travel.

Should we create a 30 before 30 list? Or perhaps just one massive bucket list? What do you want to see?

Those are some pretty cool achievements in such a short time.
I’d say go for a ’30 before 30′ as I find the typical bucket list a bit too open-ended, while setting a bit of deadline provides more focus.

Wow, you accomplished so many of your goals! I agree with David – most people have bucket lists without a deadline, which means they never get accomplished. if you’re going to have such a list, assigning a date like that is a great idea.Scott – QuirkyTravel recently posted..How to avoid bed bugs while traveling

Looks like a great year! I’ve got a vague bucket list but think the ‘x before x’ idea is a great one to focus you on making sure you prioritise the things you want to achieve. Though mine’ll have to 35 before 35 – the older you get the more you have to cram in!Lucy @ On the Luce recently posted..Reviewed: Balam Bali Villa, near Ubud
